Geller grew up in Terra Linda and graduated from Terra Linda High School in 1983. She moved to Peacock Gap in 2006.

As the public member, Geller is joining weekly meetings with IJ President and Publisher Rob Devincenzi, Editor Robert Sterling and Opinion Page Editor Brad Breithaupt. The board discusses local issues reported by the IJ and formulates stands reflected in that week’s editorials.

Before joining Nelson Staffing, Geller worked as an instructional assistant and substitute teacher at Dixie and Mary E. Silveira elementary schools. She also worked as a sales manager for MarinScope weekly newspapers, as well as several years in the hotel business in San Francisco. She has worked at Nelson Staffing for 11 years.

Geller attended College of Marin and is a graduate of San Francisco State University.

She has been active in the community, serving on the boards of Congregation Rodef Sholom in San Rafael, the San Rafael Chamber of Commerce and the Marin Economic Forum.
